British Virgin Islands travel data guide
A British Virgin Islands eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for British Virgin Islands that you install before you fly. Plans in British Virgin Islands run on Digicel and FLOW, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 12 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 3 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $13.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on some of the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Caribbean eSIM covers British Virgin Islands and 24 other countries on one plan, from $6.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in British Virgin Islands, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in British Virgin Islands from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
British Virgin Islands FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in British Virgin Islands?
It connects wherever Digicel and FLOW have signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in British Virgin Islands, not at purchase. The plan selected above (1 GB) runs for 1 day from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in British Virgin Islands?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Are there fixed data plans for the British Virgin Islands?
Only one. The British Virgin Islands list has a single fixed plan, 1 GB valid for 1 day. Every other plan is unlimited, in 1, 3, 7, 15 or 30 day lengths, with full speed up to a daily amount and slower data after it.
What is the daily limit on unlimited plans in the British Virgin Islands?
Unlimited plans for the British Virgin Islands give full speed for the first 1 GB or 2 GB each day, depending on the plan. After that the speed drops to 1 Mbps at most until the next day. The plan card states which daily amount applies.
Does the Caribbean plan cover the British Virgin Islands?
Yes, the British Virgin Islands are on the Caribbean plan's country list. That plan suits a route across several islands. For a stay in the British Virgin Islands alone, the plans on this page are enough.
Should I install the eSIM before sailing to the British Virgin Islands?
Yes. Install it on WiFi at home or in your hotel before you board, because you need an internet connection to download it. The plan's days do not begin until the eSIM first connects to a network in the British Virgin Islands.
Can I keep my home SIM active alongside the eSIM?
Yes, keep your home SIM active for calls and SMS and set the eSIM as your data line. Switch off data roaming on the home SIM so it does not use data at your carrier's roaming rate while you are in the British Virgin Islands.
Can I share my British Virgin Islands data with other people on the boat?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on every British Virgin Islands plan. Bear in mind that on an unlimited plan several people sharing will reach the daily full speed amount sooner, and after that everyone is on the slower speed until the next day.
Can I top up a British Virgin Islands eSIM?
On some plans, yes. The plan card shows whether top up is supported. If it is not, buy a new plan when the current one ends and install the new QR code over WiFi.
How do I top up if I run low?
Open My eSIMs, pick this eSIM and choose a top up. It goes onto the same eSIM, so there is no new QR code to scan.
